Version of Peri Peri Chicken

Ingredients:
1 pound of chicken (bone-in thighs would be best, but my family is spoiled on boneless/skinless breasts)
Red Chilies (optional - if you have wimp family members)
2 Tbl vinegar
2 Tbl lemon juice
4 tsp paprika
1 tsp basil
1 tsp thyme
2 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
and plenty of garlic (but that's to taste too since it can be harsh for some)

Directions:
Blend or whisk red chilies (depending on whether whole or already crushed), garlic (same), salt pepper, basil / thyme, paprika, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice in to a paste.
Cut / Even out chicken and add to sealable bag - thoroughly coat with marinade and seal.
Refrigerate (up to 4 hours)
Bake or in my case... grill - it's so much better grilled

Serve with onion/peppers rice - dice or slice onion and pepper, put olive oil in large skillet and saute with garlic, salt, and pepper. i use minute rice because i'm lazy, so make equal parts chicken broth to amount of rice (1 cup : 1 cup). when veg is soft, add turmeric (and potentially paprika and tomato paste) and the broth. make sure all thoroughly blended and then cover / simmer for 10 minutes.
